Hi
Does any one have any experience in extracting the bootfloopy image from
a dvd or cd, or might be able to suggest what tools to use ?
First, Kernel 2.4.x will fit on one/two floppies whilst Kernel
2.5.x/2.6.x will not.
Second, you can make boot floppy without copying from dvd or cd. You can
if you really want to with lots of painful efforts. Just curious: why
would you
do that ?
Third, tools to use are 'dd', 'mount -o loop ...', 'grub', 'lilo', and
similar commands.
Then, check this out:

There is also 'Bootdisk-Howto' in http://www.tldp.org.
Hope this helps.
